Labstep API is published by [Labstep](https://apis.io/providers/labstep/) on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Electronic Lab Notebook, Research Data, and Laboratory. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, an API reference, and authentication docs.

The Labstep REST API exposes the same generic entity surface the Labstep application uses — experiments, protocols, resources, resource items, locations, devices, device data, orders, metadata, files, tags, collections, workspaces and users. Requests are authenticated with a per-user API key sent in an `apikey` header (an Authorization Bearer token form is also supported), and entities are read, filtered, created, edited and deleted under `/api/generic/<entity>` with a POST `/filter` endpoint for structured predicate queries.
